Indigo PU Super Gloss Enamel (PU Paint): The High-Gloss, Durable Finish
For an ultra-high gloss finish on wood and metal that offers unmatched durability, choose Indigo PU Super Gloss Enamel (PU Paint). This premium Polyurethane (PU) modified enamel elevates the standard enamel formula by incorporating advanced PU resins. This results in a much tougher, denser film that resists scratches, chipping, and fading far better than traditional oil paints.
Ideal for kitchen cabinets, furniture, doors, and metal structures, this super glossy enamel provides a mirror-like sheen that is easy to clean and maintains its brilliance for years. It is the perfect choice for areas requiring maximum performance and a dramatic, reflective look.
Why Choose Indigo PU Super Gloss Enamel (PU Paint)?
The PU modification provides critical benefits over standard synthetic enamels, particularly in longevity and finish:
- Extreme Gloss Retention: The PU component ensures the mirror-like sheen lasts longer, even after repeated cleaning.
- Superior Hardness: The hard film is highly resistant to impact and abrasion, preventing chips and scratches on high-traffic items like doors and metal gates.
- Non-Yellowing: Formulated to resist the yellowing that often plagues standard oil-based paints, ensuring white and light colors stay true.
- High Washability: The non-porous surface makes the paint impervious to common household stains, allowing for easy, effective cleaning.

- Mixing: Stir the paint well. Dilute Indigo PU Super Gloss Enamel with MTO Thinner (10–25%) to achieve the desired consistency.
- Application: Apply the first coat using a soft brush or foam roller, moving in light, even strokes.
- Drying & Final Coat: Allow 8 hours for drying. Lightly sand the first coat with 400 grit sandpaper to remove dust nibs, wipe clean, and apply the final coat for a rich, deep gloss.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this a 2-component PU?
A: No, this is a Single-Pack (1K) enamel that has been modified with PU resins for superior hardness. True 2K PU systems (like WoodTech PU) offer higher chemical resistance but require hardener mixing.
Q: Can I use a roller to apply this super gloss finish?
A: A high-quality foam roller (like TruCare 720) is recommended for the best results, as it minimizes brush marks and texture associated with fabric rollers.
